abstract OpenGLES3RenderContext(NativeOpenGLRenderContext)

The OpenGLES3RenderContext allows access to OpenGL ES 3.0 features when OpenGL or OpenGL ES is the render context type of the Window, and the current context supports GLES3 features.

Using an OpenGL ES context on a desktop platform enables support for cross-platform code that should run on both desktop and mobile platforms (when using hardware acceleration), though support for OpenGL ES 3.0 features are more limited than GLES2.

Platforms supporting an OpenGL ES 3.0 context are compatible with the Lime WebGLRenderContext as well as the WebGL2RenderContext if you would prefer to write WebGL-style code, or support web browsers with the same code. Be aware that not all browsers support WebGL 2, so only plain WebGL might be available.

You can convert from lime.graphics.RenderContext, lime.graphics.OpenGLRenderContext, lime.graphics.opengl.GL, and can convert to lime.graphics.OpenGLES2RenderContext, lime.graphics.WebGL2RenderContext or lime.graphics.WebGLRenderContext directly if desired:

var gles3:OpenGLES3RenderContext = window.context;
var gles3:OpenGLES3RenderContext = gl;
var gles3:OpenGLES3RenderContext = GL;

var gles2:OpenGLES2RenderContext = gles3;
var webgl2:WebGL2RenderContext = gles3;
var webgl:WebGLRenderContext = gles3;
